Cognitive dysfunction during hypoglycemia in an elderly subject without diabetes.
Article in Diabetology international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to examine whether an elderly subject without diabetes experiences hypoglycemia during his daily life or after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and investigate whether hypoglycemic episodes affect cognitive function. The 85-year-old healthy subject, who is a sports enthusiast, showed lower than normal (< 80 mg/dl) blood glucose levels on two occasions over 6 days in the early morning. The subject also experienced hypoglycemic episodes and blood glucose levels of 65 and 74 mg/dl, respectively, during the 6-h OGTT given after a 13-h fast. Cognitive function, as assessed using a numeracy test and a driving simulator test, deteriorated during the hypoglycemic episodes but recovered 0.5 h after ingestion of a confectionary product (two pieces of Dorayaki containing 247 kcal and 51.5 g of carbohydrate each). Cognitive dysfunction caused by mild hypoglycemia can be involved in a part of traffic accidents in elderly drivers.
